Hi all,
[ I did a search but didn't find much, so please don't shoot me down. ]
I had moved some apps to external SD (mainly games and very big apps). After a long while, I upgraded my NeatROM firmware based on Android 4.1.2 to a newer version of NeatROM also based on Android 4.1.2 - without wipe (which is supported, I've always done that between NeatROM roms).
All went smooth and works fine, except that the apps on the external sd now appear orphaned. They show greyed out and can't be launched. I know I can reinstall them but I'd like to avoid that.
Is there any fix to make the OS recognize them? I presume some config files now point to the wrong location for those apps. I'd be grateful for some pointers.
Thanks in advance.
--
also,if you have made backups[via titanium or so] of those apps,just restore them.

Hello Guys,
I am pretty much new to Android here (Used to be a Windows Mobile user), although I am starting to read and learn more about it. I felt so happy to be out of the Microsoft Mobile spell, it was horrible and the software just lives in the world of its own, it lags at almost anything and in short, it just cant work.
Alright, so I got my Hero 2 weeks back and I wanted to know a few things, which I hope you can help me with it.
- I have about 60 over applications on my SD card, and I wish to use the MoDaCo ROM, How am I able to backup the applications from the current stock rom and transfer them to SD Card or somewhere else?
( Will Market still recognise the apps I downloaded after I flashed my phone to MoDaCo? )
- One more question, everything when the MoDaCo rom releases a new version, lets say from 2.9 to 3.0, must I reflash and build everything from scratch again?
Thanks A Lot,
Jeremy

hi,
well to answer your questions,
you can install all your applications directly on your sd card using app2sd.(it is incorporated in the modaco roms but bear in mind you have to correctly format ur sd card in ext3 partition for app2sd application to work . Once you've done that , you can flash anything and you'll not have any problem.
2)concerning paid applications, yes. market will automatically recognise applications you bought once you sign in your google account(they'll be recognised but you'll have to download it manually) but paid ones, nope.
3)when you upgrade from the same built( meaning from 2.8 to 3.0 modaco for example) , you dont have to wipe before flashing cause both roms use as base the official 2.73 rom. thus you wont lose any of your settings. However, when you upgrade from a modaco rom to community rom 1.6 , you should normally wipe.(builts are not the same here, one being cupcake and the other eclair)

Thanks A lot for your response, and I have some questions again.
- Where could I find an app to format my SDCard to Ext3? Will my Windows PC still be able to read EXT3?
- You mentioned that market will recognise my downloaded applications after I root the phone right? So, I dont really get it - I have to download it manually? Meaning? ( All my apps are free, no paid )
- Its pleasing to hear that I don't have to wipe when I upgrade to 3.0.
- Oh and something which I missed out, I am supposed to flash a Radio at the same time right? Which one is the best to date? I heard that there was many versions. ( I'm using a GSM Hero)
Sorry for the inconvinience.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hello to everyone;
To start with I suppose I must introduce myself:
My name is Manu from México and I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace since three months ago.
During this time I had played with it and its stock ROM with 2.3.4 from carrier Telcel, I rooted it and removed bloatware from the carrier, the result was really nice; even thou after some apps the internal space run out, and therefore the responsiveness of my phone also got cluttered.
About a week ago or so I decided to go beyond and flashed "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" so I tested it for a while and even thou I found many improvements, many bugs were unbearable for the phone use I’m used to; so I switched back to a Stock Rom and flashed "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem.
In addition I did this process to Deodex + root "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048&highlight=DEODEX” the result in my personal opinion is very good, but I’m back to the beginning. IM RUNNING OUT OF SPACE FOR INTERNAL STORAGE AND THE PHONE STARTS TO ACT LAGGY
I have read about s2e, link2sd and darktremor a2sd; where is require to partition your SD (which I already have also done with CMW at no avail) and I have finally ended up with a program called Install Manager 3.5.1 which promises to do move apps to SD (as far as they are executed locally from an .apk file and not market)
So... after this entire intro, and to avoid any flaming against me: I have read many many posts and have ended up overwhelmed and more confused.
¿Can someone please help me into the best way (in terms of stability and performance) to manage my apps to the SD card with a stock ROM?
(If possible a detailed explanation please, remember I have Stock "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem)
Thanks a lot.
Also let me say I had read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172684
But I get lost into "make sure the rom supports it" and therefore not sure if this applies to S5830SERKPO 2.3.5
Well, seems that my post is getting to much attention yet... still, I have an update; today during the course of the day, two times the phone screen turns off and it does not come back until I remove the battery.
The phone continues to work... (the radio still plays, calls continue, etc) just the screen turns off without any means to turn it on.
Hope someone can guide into how to find a better solution for my need.
Probably the easiest way to fix that is to install a ROM from the dev section (make sure it supports A2SD) Cyanogenmod is not official for our Ace, wich means lots of bugs, but other Customs Roms should be ok for you.
Create a ext4 and swap with CWM in your sd card (reboot into recovery, advanced, create sd partitions) Open the A2SD app and turn the swap on, move applications.
Hi guys,
hope you might be able to help.
I was fiddling around trying to access my work emails from home yesterday and G mail asked me to install android device manager so that my work could control security protocols on my phone in case it was lost. It asked me to encrypt my device which i did and left it plugged in for a few hours while it did it's stuff. On reboot it loads into the usual registration stuff after installing a new ROM, but the keyboard is not usable it will only use speech recognition input and then the installer stops working.
All i really want is to get my photos off of my phone the rest is backed up to my g mail contacts list etc. can anyone help me out of this mess i made?
I will guess you have Archi 2.4. And about the photos, are they on the external SD crd or on the phone ? if they are on the SD card, then you can simply format everything and install another ROM (let's say archi 2.4.1 updated in the morning )
First I would try to download the Archi 2.4.1 to my SD card and flash it. (select in Aroma to update it, as you already have ArchiDroid installed). Flash it without wiping, first. It should install the element that are missing from the keyboard (I would reccomend to select in Aroma both keyboards. If one does not work, you have the other one).
If that does not work, flash the ROM again, now select that you don't have the ROM installed. And it will flash it entirely. Repeat the part with the keyboards.
Third solution would be to flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Come here and report on what you have done.
Today I unlocked my bootloader and installed CM on my P768. Because I had problems using fastboot, I used ROM Manager to install the CWM.
Before I used a different ROM, I used the official one that came from the website. In the end it had a lot of problems:
Camera not responding
Call not responding
home button unfunctional
messaging 'says' it is not working
can't be recognized by my computer(recognized a phone, not the internal storage and sd card inside)
Now, I installed a modified CM (link at the bottom). Camera works and some other stuff works. But still, i had problems:
cannot receive calls (can call someone)
home button still doesn't work (only to unlock the device
can't be recognized by my computer(recognized a phone, not the internal storage and sd card inside)
Now, I have two choises:
Fix the 'bugs'
Reinstall the retarded-looking stock ROM that came with the box from LG (opinions!)
Can somebody help please to either:
make the fixes
find a way to reinstall my stock ROM
ASAP PLEASE! :crying: I am in need of fixing this ASAP.
Links
modified CM I used
Method of unlocking bootloader and installing CM
P.S. I am a noob at flashing things
To those who are reading this, the problem was that I restored apps through Titanium Backup including some stock apps. Therefore breaking the call app, messaging, etc.
So those who are in need to get rid of the STOCK ROM:
DO NOT RESTORE STOCK APPS IN CYANOGENMOD. YOU WILL SUFFER FROM MANY THINGS JUST LIKE THE THINGS FROM ABOVE!
Hi, i'm running a Moto E with android version 5.1, and since updating to this version of android I have had constantly so little space on the internal memory that I can't even update the pre-installed apps even though I have as good as as no other apps installed on the phone as well as zero images, videos, music or any other media files.
Therefore I've spent a few days trying to figure out how I could move the pre-installed apps to my SD-card.
So, I've rooted the phone, installed the program called Link2SD and I tried using that program to move the apps. Yet it gave me a warning:
"Failure
pkg: /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-1/base.apk Failure
[INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]"
Then I found that it seems I also need to create a so-called "second partition" on my SD-card, but I've not yet managed to find a tutorial on the internet that worked for me.
Since then I've tried 6 or 7 other similar programs with no luck, in the process reading somewhere that it actually couldn't even be done on android versions 4.0 or later. Is this true? Could someone be a kind gentleman (or -woman) and guide me through this? That would make me very happy indeed.
Thanks in advance

It's better to install custom rom of android 6.0 + and flash gapps pico or nano and in android 6.0 + you can format your external SD card as internal so, it'll help to use all on external storage and gapps pico also takes minimum space so you definitely saved you internal storage to be full
if you don't know how to do that stuff then you can ask...!
